favicon

Post: # 671940Post doggerel »

Does anyone know the history of Saintsational's favicon (the white box with an 'M' in it that appears in the address URL when you access the site). These are easy to make and install on a site. Why is this site's icon so gay?

I've changed the favicon for saintsational in my favourites to a small St Kilda emblem ... so have never noticed the "M" ...

I've now learned:

1) a new word and
2) that you can customise favicons.

This site just keeps giving.

hOw

I found the change icon button- but where do I go for a saints one?

Now I know what they are - why do sometimes they NOt appear?

and many of my favourites already have them customised- the one on ss on my system is the internet explorer icon.

I didn't realise small pixelated icons could have sexual preferences. Ah, you learn something new every day!

Yes. Normally the site designer would produce one and host it on the site, and embed some code into the home page such that it turns up in the URL on the left. I was unaware that users could customise it at their end. Guess I'll do that!

The favicon of this site is the default one from the forum software. For an administrator to change it's as easy as replacing the favicon.ico file with a custom one.

Of course you need an active admin (with full access) for that.

In Firefox, how are people changing their favicon for their bookmarks?
Or are you guys using an add-on like BelfastSaint suggested.

The easiest way to customize your favicon is to copy one from an existing site ...
sainters.com and westofmoorabbin both have good St Kilda favicons.

Ive got Firefox (WAY better than Internet Exploder IMHO) and I just use the defult icon which is a tiny sheet of paper with one corner folded down. As long as I can get to the site the "favicon" makes no differance to me
